Episode 450: AI, Meta and iPhone 18 Pro Max

It's an interesting show as we look at a few strange topics, including how AI is shutting down some refrigerators. We also talked about Muse, Meta's AI tool that we really haven't talked about before. It's coming onto the scene very fast, and Meta may have some products that could change things significantly. Dave fills us in on Apple's "prepare to ship" feature for the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Show Notes: AI shut down some refrigerators The M-pire Strikes Back Meta Did a 'One More Thing' and It's an AI Tamagotchi Amazon Blocks Meta's Muse AI Assistant Shows and movies we're watching Memory of a…

Episode 449: iPhone water, Duo Camera, and iOS 27
One of the amazing things about the new iPhone 18 Pro is that they have a little bit of water in them. That helps cool the A20 chip when it gets hot. The iPhone Duo is amazing device and it will be very popular on preorder day. However, there are certain things the Duo's cameras can't do that the Pros can. Dave and I take a look at those to see if any of them are deal breakers. We continue our talk about iOS 27 with some of the good and the bad. Brought to you by : CleanMyMac : Get Tidy Today!

Episode 446: Dolly, Apple Event, New Macs
It was a sad day for the music world as one of the greats passed away this week. Dolly Parton was celebrated around the world when news of her passing reached the public, and every bit of it was deserved. Apple's first event featuring its new CEO, John Ternus, has been announced for September 9, 2026, at 10 a.m. It is expected that John will introduce a bunch of new products, including the Foldable iPhone. It'll be an event to watch for sure. Apple this week also announced a new Mac mini with M6, M5 Pro, a new MacStudio with M5 Max, and M5 Ultra. That's a lot of power. Follow this podcast…

Sometimes we like to share things going on in our lives, this week is my turn. I just got back from a trip to Winnepeg, spending some time with friends we met last year.

Episode 444: Siri taking a picture and foldable iPhones
Dave mentioned on the podcast a year ago how great it would be if you could instruct Siri to take a picture. Guess what you can do with iOS 27 Beta? You got it! It's getting close to the introduction of Apple's first foldable iPhone. This will be John Ternus' first introduction and keynote as Apple's CEO. This is definitely going to be interesting to watch.

Episode 443: Learning guitar, iOS 27, leasing Apple gear
Dave found a new site, that is about 25 years old, that has shown him a lot about learning guitar. We talk about the different priorities we have when it comes to learning the instrument. A new beta of iOS 27 came out, and it fixed some of the issues we brought up last week on the show. Apple introduced a new leasing program that is better than I thought it would be.

Episode 442: Guitar strings, Weather app, More Apple price increases
It's been quite a while since Dave changed the strings on his guitar (and even longer for me), so we take a minute to talk about how much we forgot and what's still in our minds. Since installing iOS 27, my favorite app is Apple's built in Weather app. The updates may seem small, but if you use it a lot, it's an incredible upgrade. This is how Apple should update apps--it's not just about adding 100 new features, it's about making those features work better for the user. Apple just finished a round of hardware price increases and now the company is increasing pricing on its subscription too.…

Episode 441: OpenAI, Apple chips, and AI Data Center ban
OpenAI is planning to release a new hardware device that will be a movable, screenless speaker built as an AI companion. OpenAI is also fending off a lawsuit from Apple accusing former employees, who now work for OpenAI, of stealing Apple's trade secrets. AI is also revamping Apple's plans for how it's going to release its next set of chips for its devices. AI is demanding more power for every generation of chips. New York has become the first state to impose an AI Data Center ban, citing enormous power usage as one reason. Brought to you by : CleanMyMac : Get Tidy Today! Try 7 days free and…

Episode 440: MacBook Air, iOS 27, and SF housing
Dave recently bought an M5 MacBook Air before the price hikes took effect. That gives him three MacBook Airs and he talks about the differences he's found. Dave also has the most recent OS betas installed on several of his devices and we discuss his experiences so far. Everyone knows how expensive it is to live in San Francisco, but things have take a crazy turn in the city that is changing the housing market.

Episode 439: Om, New Prices, Claude instead of Siri
On this week's show we talk about the passing of Om Malik, a wonderful man and a friend to many. Dave has some thoughts on the impact of the recent price hikes for Apple hardware and what it could mean for future products. We still don't know what will happen if you replace Siri with Claude in iOS 27, so I asked Claude his understanding. Not as good as I had hoped. There is a Hide My Email bug that Apple software was alerted about last year that allows people to see your real icloud.com email address, but Apple has yet to fix it.

Episode 438: Price increases, iCloud Aliases, and Apple Music
Tim Cook announced pretty significant price increases to Apple's hardware line this week. The increases came because of component shortages that have been happening for the past few months. Apple is moving its Hide My Email feature to its own subdomain, which means that businesses can block all attempts to sign-up for a service by blocking the new subdomain. Seems odd Apple would do this. Dave and I also chat about AI and what could happen with Apple Music.

Episode 434: Apple Watch, AI, and Stolen iPhones
In an article for Bloomberg, Mark Gurman makes the case for an Apple Watch reboot. He's certainly not wrong, the Apple Watch has been stagnant for years now. Some keen people have found a new URL in the updated code pointing to a new subdomain genai.apple.com. Nothing happens when you click on it, but I'm sure after WWDC, we'll get to see exactly what it's for. People have been stealing iPhones since they first came out, but in London, the thieves are also starting to text threats to family members.

Episode 431: Swap Apple Intelligence Models, Apple advertising on Apple Maps
Perhaps one of the best Apple Intelligence decisions I've ever heard, the company announced this week that users will be able to swap Apple's AI model to a rival's to control the new AI system. That means you could use Claude or Gemini or another company that wants to have theirs available. Dave and I also talk about Apple's decision to show advertising on Maps. A disappointing choice for a company that ridiculed Google for its advertising efforts to customers and saying Apple doesn't treat its customers like the product.

Episode 430: Keyboard dictionary, pipeline of products for Ternus
Have you ever wanted to reset your keyboard dictionary? Dave shows you how, but it's a bit scary to press the buttons. We also look at the pipeline of products that John Ternus will be released under his tenure as CEO. Many of the products, we've already heard about but they couldn't be released because the software wasn't ready. Others are new categories. There are reports that Apple has given up on the Vision Pro after a lukewarm response.
